She’s Bringing Agriculture to Apartment Living
Could a community garden become the next hot apartment amenity?

Excerpt:
Charee Alexander is ready to plant. She’s wanted to be a gardener for years, but it was tough to learn a new hobby while parenting and working. Now that her kids are grown and she’s downsized her home, she’s found her chance. The place that’s giving Alexander the opportunity to get in touch with her inner gardener is an unexpected one, however: her new apartment complex.
“I want to be able to go out and pluck a tomato or a cucumber or a jalapeño pepper,” she says. “I’m looking forward to being out in the garden and getting my hands dirty. That’s God right there, in nature, in the soil. I’m a nature girl.”
Apartment living may seem incongruous with gardening and nature, but Mariah Henry proves they’re a natural fit. The Stead, an apartment complex in northeast Charlotte, found Henry through an Artist Building Community program and tasked her with implementing a community garden for its residents. She’s brought a wealth of agriculture and food expertise to the job: She’s a Johnson & Wales University graduate and a trained chef, she’s studied food systems and sustainability, and she’s the director of Urban Agriculture for Carolina Farm Trust. At The Stead, Henry designed and installed a community garden and helps residents like Alexander advance from gardening-curious to gardening pros. She lives at The Stead, too. Henry didn’t just come to build the garden and leave; she’s staying to help it thrive.
